Durable and efficient ACs with copper coils
Many of us depend on our air conditioners for a comfortable environment in our homes, especially on warmer days. Hence, when picking an AC, it is important to go for models that are geared up for better cooling efficiency and better durability. One particular component to pay extra attention to is the condenser, which carries the heat away from your room and releases it into the hotter external environment. The condenser coil should be made of a metal that is a better conductor of heat and can also be durable. This is why ACs with copper condensers are increasingly being preferred over other condenser types. Here are a few models available on Amazon with copper condenser coils and impressive specifications.
AmazonBasics 1.5 Ton 5 Star 2020 Inverter Split AC (Copper Condenser, Advanced Motor, White)
This air conditioner from the AmazonBasics lineup comes with a 100% copper condenser as well as blue-fin coating, which is an anti-corrosive coating on the already corrosion-resistant copper coils. This promises to greatly increase the durability of the condenser coils. Along with that, the AC comes with an Anti-Fungal Function, which causes the blower to run for an additional 40 seconds after the AC is turned off, with the objective of cleaning water from the evaporator coil in the AC. The model also pays attention to the aesthetics with a hidden digital display that can be turned off for a seamless look.
Voltas 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper 185VSZS White)
The Voltas AC comes with a high operating voltage range – this means it assures a stabiliser free operation and protection from voltage fluctuations. Along with that, the model also offers a better choice for areas with higher humidity with its Active Dehumidifier, which is designed to regulate indoor humidity. It also aims for a lower impact on the environment with the R32 refrigerant being used for cooling due to its higher efficiency at conducting heat. Another advantage that the Voltas AC promises is the inverter technology that can regulate power consumption to maintain uniform cooling, while also minimising electricity bills.
LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star Dual Inverter Split AC (Copper, KS-Q18HNZD, White, Hi Grooved Copper)
The Ocean Black Protection on both the indoor and outdoor unit of the LG Split AC promises high durability for the copper coil, especially in typical Indian regions affected by sand, salt, industrial smoke and pollutants. Beyond this, the Hi-Grooved copper coils in the condenser are designed to enable oscillatory movement in the refrigerant which agitates it for better cooling, as well as reinforcing the coil to withstand higher pressure. It also allows you to change the power levels according to your needs via the remote, which aims to reduce energy wastage. Furthermore, the AC can communicate low refrigerant levels to you so that you can act in time to avoid discomfort later.
Carrier 1.5 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC (Copper ESKO NEO HYBRIDJET INV R32CAI18EK5R39F0 White)
With the High Ambient Cooling design of the Carrier Split AC, the compressor is air-cooled and the coolant is used to keep the external unit at a lower temperature as well. This promises to improve overall cooling performance at higher ambient temperatures. Along with that, the Carrier AC aims for better cooling performance with its HybridJet design which promises power as well as durability. To assure you of long term performance, the model comes with a warranty of 10 years on the compressor, along with a one-year warranty on both the condenser and the overall product.
